This is the first V/H/S movie I'm ever seeing, so my review is within the context of a newcomer. This movie is a found footage horror anthology where the sort of connective tissue between each segment is the nature of extraterrestrial threats. There are also wraparound and interstitial sections filmed in a documentary style where experts weigh in on a specific story. Overall, it has a haunted house style feel to it with a lot of focus being on kills and monster designs. Like any anthology, it is uneven, with the first section being strong enough to get me to commit to the movie before it starts to waver. That first section feels a lot like a video game. I also thought the 3rd segment involving a group of skydivers was solid, and the 4th segment involving a dog care facility was decent as well. The 2nd segment was forgettable, and unfortunately Alanah Pearce's segment was my least favorite and a poor showcase of her acting. The wraparound footage was completely pointless in my opinion because the story it told was the least interesting of the bunch. I don't really have more to say because there are no characters or plot here, just people trying to survive against monsters. I did think they were able to shift up the visual style enough between the segments even though they are all found footage style, and the monster designs and effects were good.
